#tgifc169 Blended Seasons & Heat Embossing

It’s Friday and time for a Technique! This month’s technique is Heat Embossing. I decided to showcase the upcoming, limited release, Color Your Season products, available August 1, 2018. I love this floral image and decided to indulge in the new colors from the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2, available as part of this release.

With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.

Cut a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Stamp the floral image on top and bottom (rotating it 180 degrees within the Stamparatus) in Versamark Ink. Cover in Whisper White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set with a Heat Tool.

Color the floral images with Watercolor Pencils and blend with a Blender Pen.

Crop a piece of Granny Apple Green & a piece of Vellum Cardstock with the smallest Stitched Season Framelit Die. Adhere together with a Mini Glue Dot.

Apply a strip of Snail Adhesive to the backside and add several loops of Rose Metallic Thread. Adhere to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Flirty Flamingo, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencils. All but Rich Razzleberry are from the Assortment 2 pack available August 1st. They blend nicely with a Blender Pen! The lines just disappear.

White Stampin’ Emboss Powder looks fabulous on Crumb Cake Cardstock. I have also created this card using Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder, which I will share with you in the near future.
